A Half-Life bug introduced by Windows 2000 just got fixed at last
Half-Life recently
received a big update to celebrate its 25th birthday, but a significant bug remained. In a famous
scripted sequence during which a long, green tentacle busts through a window and drags away a scientist, the scientist
and the tentacle would be mis-aligned, making it look like the scientist floated out of the window of his own
volition.
Not anymore. After over twenty years, Valve programmer Ben Burbank has fixed the bug - and explained how he did
it.
